We went from no sun, no warm weather and no spring in sight to no rain, no sweatshirts, shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops in a span of what seems like 10 days. With that, a few short weeks (or games for some teams) remain in the 2007-08 RIT Athletics season.

With the NFL Draft just days away, I think it is safe to say that the draft system is flawed and needs a change. When it is formally announced that Jake Long, the offensive lineman from Michigan that the Miami Dolphins will have selected #1 overall, is already the highest-paid offensive lineman in the game, something is not right. Especially when nearly half of the first round selections will turn out to be busts. It’s great for the athletes, bad for the teams drafting and most of all, bad for the fans.
